Dr. Brown Tackles Your Best Questions

UK questions we got answers phone lines are open stock the line of fire with your host activist on the international speaker and theologian Dr. Michael Brown. Your voice is more cultural and spiritual revolution Michael Brown is the director of the coalition of conscience and president of fire school of ministry get into the line of fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown thanks for joining us today on a lot of our delight.

Michael Brown number to call 866-34-TRUTH 866-348-7884 and you know Friday anything goes and if you want to talk about challenge me on question beyond four months or open source is appropriate for public Christian radio discussion, let's have at it. By the way this headline is a real headline that what when I first saw it I thought it was. I thought it was a sarcastic website, a mocking website.

I thought it was the Babylon B which puts a lot of funny Christian satire. This satire is the Sacramento Bee that the Babylon B. That's why like that's always satire you know is wrong be the Sacramento Bee. This is a news outlet singing in houses of worship band new water from Gavin Newsom's pandemic worsens.

I don't doubt that the government Newsom cares about Californians and wants to save lives, but to think this might be a little extreme. No singing in houses of worship yet.

Trust me, I got bunch article I could write on. That seem okay 866-34-TRUTH we started in Honolulu, Hawaii. Zach's recall on the line of fire Klondike run aria doing well thank you all for glycol Borromeo fellow believer in Christ and I've a question about what event you started being Jewish.

Paul mentioned the briefly in his letters, but what exactly am not sure that you gain by the sure number one in terms of our standing with God in terms of salvation, forgiveness, Paul writes in Romans 1012 is no difference between Jew and Greek Jew and Gentile, that the same Lord is Lord of all, richly calling all richly similar calls it to him.

We know that Paul emphasizes that that Abraham is the father of all who believe. Jew and Gentile, and we know that Paul writes in Galatians 3 and Assistant Colossians 3 that in the side is needed Junior Gentile just like this either male or female, slave or free. So even though there are distinctions in this world that in terms of our spiritual standing. We are exact equals in God so why would Paul say in Romans three what advance you hire is being in being a Jew. What is the veracity and circumcision. So first, the oracles of God were committed to them.

So especially in the ancient world. The only ones who have heard word of God with the Jewish people that no one else had the word of God. No one else had that the true information about the God of Israel outside of the Jews was a tremendous advantage to be born a Jew because you had that brand for the problem is been over the centuries as Judaism has rejected Jesus as Messiah and his fortune. It's only let us own traditions. But if you're born in this Jewish home you're born believe that you don't talk about Jesus, but it's like a dirty riot so righteous it. What's the advantage of being a Jew now Zach it in in the Lord were equally understand system no class system, but there is unique way that we can tie back in our history as our our own family history in a unique way. Although pour into drinking straws that are fathers including everyone in the larger family of God, but there is a way that that we have a unique witness to our people.

So let's just say there can be an advantage in everything in advantage being a man advantage being a woman advantage being a Jew advantage being a Gentile.

What are the advantages of being a Jew well think the direct connection back to our heritage and our ability to stand as a witness in the midst of that and point people to the Messiah, but there has been a change since the days of of Romans three were only the Jewish people to have the Scripture now through the gospel. The whole world and of the Scripture say thank you for the call grace to their in Honolulu, 866-34-TRUTH of let's go to Bar Harbor, Maine Oliver, welcome to the line of fire. Oh Dr. run aria doing very well thank you so my question is on second Samuel 714] reporter. It started on LB's father and he will be my son.

When he does wrong, I will punish him with the rod we would buy men walking by human hands. So this seems to be a first off a prophecy of David's son, but also seems to be prophecy of Jesus because it's part of that research quoted in Hebrews 15 it says I will be to him a father, and he shall be a done yellow on it.

We had to understand how it's being used is first and foremost is a prophecy about the sons of David in the future. In other words, God is promising.

David dynasty he would've given Saul dynasty, the Messiah would have been that the son of Saul, but Saul send in Blewitt and Gosset under him to raise up a lasting dynasty with with you, David and and the king your descendent each one on the throne. I will view as my son and I will treat them accordingly. It was, I will discipline him as needed, but I won't take the promises away from you is a different Saul. So it is first and foremost, apply a promise of a dynasty to David now. Why does Hebrews 1 reference it because the king was also uniquely seen as God's son. We see it in Psalms like Psalm two regarding speaks of begetting the sun in the whole world having to reverence God and his son in Jerusalem, so that the king, the son of David was also uniquely God's son and that's all. Hebrews is taken from that.

So the overall prophecy about discipline and disobedience.

That's for all the sons of David, that would rule on the throne, who would also be considered by God's son but because the son of David, the king is also God's son. So all the more, the greater son the greater son of David, it applies to him I got your architecture academic architect] for an answer. That's that's how the New Testament is often quoting things and saying it is not pulling in a context singing have a better understanding of the larger context.

Thank you for the question, 86634. Let's go over to Dorian in Long Beach, California. Welcome to the line of fire on dark brown doing well need to speak right into that phone service I can hear what the better on this much better.

Go ahead, give different careers: couple days back and out talking about the BLM movement and how it worked in the mood male good organization to align with and so maybe in a black Christian I feel like a white allow a lot of white evangelical confinement about the black community but wanted to hear you like what you think.

Good organization Christian electrician should align to address it puts the ball over yell that's got to be the whole church in.

In other words, we we have some of the problems we have, because the Christians were unaware over silent because Christians were on the side of segregation and the pastor Christians from the side of slavery in the past. Thank God for the voices in the church that oppose this so number one I every time the subject comes out want to shout out black lives do matter. I want to affirm that I want to say that the feeling that many black Americans have had over the centuries and even in recent years that your lies do not matter that you can be killed by law enforcement or somebody can kill you illegally in the system is against you and nobody cares. We want to say no that's unjust that's wrong.

I also want to say there is standards a history so there's not that it was not that long ago in America that lynchings were fine. Lynch, a black man get away with it.

So when you see injustice against a black person today or legal authority.

Taking a a black life. It it it ties in with a history with the past so white Christians need to be sensitive just like for a Jew when you see anti-Semitism, the Holocaust wasn't that far away. Islamic terrorism is never that far away. So you see it in a context a lot of white Christians don't get that MMI by Christian friends for many years of help me to better understand that. So first it's important that we shout out together. Black lies do matter, and we understand why there's pain and grief and why there's a sense of the system being sent against you. But what we have to do now is rise up as the church. In other words, that the political organization black lives matter will turn on you quickly as and as an evangelical Christian will turn on you because you are not queer affirming will turn on you because you believe in that the biblical family will turn on you if you stand with Israel and and already in England. Interestingly, there's a pulling back because of the erratic Hally of the BLM movement and its Marxist roots and and things like that so it's just going to turn in devour people like you is a must as quickly as it will devour someone like me, so it must be the churches in each community. It must be that white Christian leaders and others of ethnicities come down, sit together and first thing said our black brothers and sister say what is life like right now what's going on in your communities, what message do you think were tone deaf to. Let's talk so we sit and listen first and it was okay. What can we do what example, can we set what things need to be addressed. If there is an equity or injustice. It's gonna be the church that does it. I can't look to the Democratic Party of the Republican Party.

I'm certain not looking to a Marxist queer affirming organization to lead the way. So it's gotta be the church in each city and community that rises up as an answer and and you say that's a that's a big nut to crack will find a few people of like heart white Christians of like heart and and and get your voices heard together, share stuff on social media say let's have a get together when we sit and and and share background and perspective I think just getting people to understand a different world then we would look I've never been racially profile. I get hated for all kinds of things, but never racially profiled, you probably have your I need to hear those stories that helps me get a larger context for what's going on and then we were together that does that just sound like some nebulous answer reset something concrete that can help I don't know a clear record of electrical brigade correct your marriage, your own video of a lot of elective nobody blue grieve over time I'll go all photographic barley or dirt or clipping. Fighting for the black community that you think is located in the credible organ of the Amanda Kurt Lai were quick to belie okay apart.

There are gay marriage with but they'll recoat the board like you know you got to do something so so my hope. I don't know another organization that's big enough on the national level to look to. But the church is everywhere.

We gotta get this rights are. This is a crossroads.

If bit because ultimately, most of the people protesting marching them and care about George Floyd and I don't care about you know this is another agenda describing salinity so this call just be another reminder past.

Gotta get this right not will.

Let's stay in touch about the establishment the line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown. Your voice is more cultural and spiritual revolution.

Here again is Dr. Michael Brown you book evangelicals at the crossroads we passed the Trump test a lot of interviews on the ready real interest in the book comes out July 13. But if you go to my website. S. Dr. Brown's K DR Brown.org we have an exclusive offer there right on the homepage that when you order the book you will get a signed numbered copy for the first printing so we just do this for the first couple hundred that that's it that the first was a command, but also send your free copy of my 2018 book Donald Trump is not my saving evangelical leader speaks his mind about the many supports as President-elect is a chronology of 100 articles I'd written leading up to that so that, but you get free with a brand-new one evangelicals at the Crossroads comes out July 13 but preorder now do on the website.

If you want to sign multiple copies to multiple people just ask when you write in all right we go back to the phones and we go to Phoenix Arizona Christian. Welcome to the line of fire by labor that butted up boat… Or people that mean that there were not bearded and not actually require. If you have a debate with Dave Wyatt on the revetment.yeah so James and I we he's he is a specialist on the specialist in their areas that he's expert in that he would debate that I wouldn't because I don't know as well and there is I know better than he does, or areas that are more dogmatic on one point he on another. So he is not as dogmatic on some of these but replacement theology where that would fall but yet maybe we will find an area of disagreement we can debate on right but your question ask chapter 8 verse one is very interesting after the martyrdom of Stephen in the seventh chapter of acts and Saul consenting to his death, then says a great persecution arose and the believer scattered everywhere except the apostles. They stayed in Jerusalem wasn't that they were not persecuted, although they were certainly persecuted, they would not of been left out. We've already seen persecution in the fourth chapter in the fifth chapter in the sixth and seventh chapter so they were certainly not exempt for persecution.

They were the ringleaders, but in order to keep the community stable. It was obviously important for them to stay where they were and care for the flock, and in many other scattered within God use that scattering as a way to get the message out. So, as these Jewish believers were scattered from Jerusalem. They then went and wherever they went. They proclaim the good news of the persecution is meant to destroy instead resulted in the gospel spreading more and more, but it would be pretty light, pretty much like the captain of the ship, you know, being the last one is going to stay on as the ship goes down here the ship wasn't going down with her say we gotta keep the base secure. We gotta stand strong. If we scatter everyone else's. Under this also means there still a place where people can come back with us a place where they know where the leadership is so there is a stability do it. And again this inscriptions and tell us much that's reading between the lines, which seems most obvious that what about archer think God bless 866342. Let's go over to Dallas, Texas. Jason, welcome to the line of fire. Thank you. Thanks for having me Dr. Brown. I was going to ask you about five. I heard interviewed the other day about how pastors and who have come out through this. I guess seminaries are some of the biggest seminaries that are part of that hold onto the countercultural Marxist ideas may be there. You know they don't realize that that's what they believe efforts are pretty disturbing things from pastors since all stuff started some Trump was elected in the culture. Marxism started taking root and I just wanted I guess to get your perspective on you think a lot of young pastors are are buying into this and, unwittingly, and kind of know have you tracked when this started and how it kind of festered underneath the surface and Christianity for a long time and not countering it had yesterday urged different dimensions to this and I can't say that that I'm expert in terms of which seminary schools are how far things have gone but this put in a few categories you have that the liberal seminaries that don't believe that the Scriptures in any literal way or God's word. They don't believe that Jesus rose from the dead, or that the only that to the fathers.

Through him, though, is that they're not Christian they are there liberal seminaries.

Summers like union seminary.

When Dietrich Bonhoeffer came as a student in lecture there to assist chocolate.

This is this is your Christianity are you kidding me so it's much more involved with social issues, then with the that the preaching of the gospel out to the preaching of the gospel ties in with social issues, which is why Christian leaders help to abolish slavery and things like that but it puts the emphasis almost entirely on the the social issues, social justice, and then with it will take on various aspects of class warfare, which can be very much cultural Marxism, it will planted today's identity politics will play into liberation theology where the gospel is just about the poor, fighting off the rich and that kind of thing and you may have a gospel truth here and there with it, but becomes mixed in and in a way that becomes very dangerous is certainly those that are trained in more liberal backgrounds, though also net naturally be called progressive tubes of direction of the society's are redefining marriage and and for woman's court right to choose, not for the rights of the baby in the womb, and so on. It'll shift in those areas as as well and and then what'll happen in a day like today it's it will make race.

The central issue, not the gospel and then it will call for social equality which were ultimately taken for the rich giving to the poor. Now that becomes the gospel you can see how how far off you can get that you have less radical forms of it that will just manifest an extreme anti-Republican mentality or in extreme antitrust mentality extreme anti-American mentality. In other words, hatred of America is the true sign of being patriotic and and when you go further. What is that mean you kind of rewrite American history and all the cultural Marxism were seeing so some pastors today wanting to be quote woke and show how socially aware they are there kind of at the frontlines of movements which at the very root or anti-Christian directly at NNN on on the more subtle level. There is just the denial of scriptural authority so as to be accepted by the world is not so much a Marxist thing this just a flesh thing and and that that's quite pervasive. Many not willing to stand not willing to hold the ground because they don't want to be ostracized. They don't want to be hated. I tweeted the other day in the believers around the world are losing their lives runs either face we deny our faith so we don't lose our likes.

That's, that's reality. Thank you for calling these two things we must continue to to watch ON to the extent that some seminaries are embracing aspects of critical race theory into sexuality that would tie in on certain levels. Cultural Marxism. You need someone with her deeper philosophical understanding of the whole to kind of emphasize that of I'm an article from woke to awakened from woke to awakened the current culture and being so woke and so all were we know that we are aware and yet so bigoted and hateful and and so unaware of righteousness. The woke mentality is look at me I'm so woke the awakened mentality as well as me blows me one produces self-righteousness to the produces humility, 866-34-TRUTH. Let's go to Ben in Connecticut. Welcome to the line of fire. Thank you Dr. Brown were on taking my question shrug around during the week I had heard a message on Christian radio program on talking about intentional spin IN unintentional sins, and that there was no covering or that Christ's blood atonement for intentional stands, especially if they were repeated with really no true repentance and a him reference numbers 15 that the Hebrew in that passage in the chapter. It actually called them high-handed stands or boldly sinning and that dumb whoever asked high-handed boy, funk the Lord and that there they would be cut off from the congregation that there was no covering and and and a backdrop to that whole message was the fact that Christianity order for Christians today or professing Christians are so mingled with the world that really hard to tell a true believer from a worldly person so just jump in only because of a break and want to make sure I can answer on the soldier. Is there forgiveness of intentional sins through the cross. Of course, of course, there's forgiveness for intentional sins.

This forgiveness for things that you could not be forgiven for under the law of Moses ask 1339 and everyone who believes in him is justified from everything that you could not be justified from through the law of Moses. Now the issue is, can I as a believer continue in willful sin and be forgiven. The incident is no. In other words, if I continue in willful sin and reject the cross and rejects the Lordship of Jesus and reject the authority of God in my life.

No there is not forgiveness without repentance. But if I come back like the prodigal son in Luke 15 and cry out for mercy.

Of course, God will forgive and how many of us as believers have intentionally done something wrong. I know this is wrong.

I know I'm going to do it and we do it and they were smitten with conviction. Afterwards we come running to God will forgive me wash me clench me if we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

So absolutely yes there is forgiveness but not assistance and deny the Lord because those who live like that. You never say also. Her plan by the Expo line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown.

Your voice is more cultural and spiritual revolution.

All right we go to the phones starting with EN in Iowa. Welcome to the line of fire. Hey, I can barely hear you and need you to speak directly into the phone. Okay Dr. but the question on your opinion on thing. I hate EN I apologize I'm unable to hear you. So tell you what a Howard. If you have a second I get on and see if you can tell me what the question is may be type that out or give us a better connection. All right, let's go to. I know it's frustrating hold for a while we get on but of sleep we can hear you. We can help you a let's go to Durham, North Carolina Harlan, you are on line of fire. Thank you for taking my call. Dr. Brown yes sir I live in.

I appreciate your program thank I'm calling regarding something you addressed earlier in the way with special guest. Yes, heartbeat, legislation. I'm not questioning the sincerity or motives of anyone that supports our beloved legislation, but I think it and it is not a good idea. I would love to have you have a guest on it for exponents and in more detail by I basically have four for reasons why I oppose heartbeat legislation electric, very concisely, and in order of importance one there a moral to their unconstitutional three to take strong values and for the not guaranteed to work so snarling.

Obviously there's a lot you could say about this and on Fridays we release it to answer questions. Of course, so is Janet Porter made it an eloquent case for the heart because she's been on the front lines of the pro-life movement for many many years. Let me ask you this Harlan, if this could save some babies lives if we could potentially save thousands of babies lives in Argosy, just a step in the right direction, but you feel it would be wrong if he could literally save the lives of babies are not are not objecting to it because it saves some of it all. I'm direct object or because the law explicitly consents to the killing of some, it violates God command you shall not murder by specifically consenting to the murder of some babies known and and and it explicitly says it's fine to kill them before this or does it say you cannot kill them after this is not with the bill says I look I look at the legislation online and after the after.if the doctor performing the abortion which is demolishing himself because it may have a murderer determining whether the heartbeat but it says abortion be performed if there is no detectable heartbeat and I think the fact that a conflict consents to the killing of some. Basically, I believe that any law that ends with inventor control. The baby is a moral violates God's enduring command, you shall not murder. Yes so hard about law specifically consents to the killing of children in the womb when there's no detectable heartbeat right what I love to do is raise important issue is is get Janet on and someone a pro-lifer with a different perspective and kind of moderate the discussion or debate is there in a recognized major pro-life leader that opposes the heart people you think would be a good articular able to articulate the position you're in your speaking of. All I can think of three or four people. It would be possible candidates for that it will Harlan all water lines allocate Dr. Alan okay… Who was in Languedoc my shirt given the name okay Dr. Alan Keyes is one Tom Coughlin was mentored by Dr. to use and is currently a presidential candidate. Okay, this is the other couplings is more the let's let's see if we can get a discussion about that. I understand the issue and in very concisely articulated. Let's let's have a discussion about the be one thing to say that the legislation says you cannot terminate life of the baby. If your heartbeat is legislation says you can terminate life been before the heartbeat, then obviously that raises a moral issue.

So thank you for the call center and in the we will look into pursuing that. I'm sure Janet would be more than happy to to come on and support her view and it was the the two said the ones issue check check our archives for heartbeat bill. It was this week and you can hear transposition.

You just heard very concisely Argosy Harling to say much more very concisely in lubricant we can moderate a discussion about that 866-34-TRUTH all right EN in Iowa. Let's see if we can hear this time. Go ahead sir or yeah we can start here but there your voice and really remember your books over my ministry. Thank you. My question is about the noumenon annual sprinklers and places, or suspension number and then places including the Chronicles were talked about a festival.

My question is what you think of someone trying to take the mention of that and then extrapolating and into some sort of like baptism for calendar today that we follow in everything that you break the Jewish calendar. I completely separate that I reject that in terms of anything was supposed to do or should do if you live in a Jewish community in the Jewish community lives by the lunar calendar than your part of the community that's fine that's that's your calendar and noting be the case in Israel is even though it's got the regular months of the year. It's because the Hebrew month so you're a religious Jewish community is a certain lifeboat with it, but otherwise we have a solar calendar and we can operate differently and the New Testament cautions to warns against making this into something making the new moon into something spiritual so I distinguish between that and the recognition of Passover pointed to the Messiah or the celebrating of the biblical calendar in terms of the feast of holy days recognizing their messianic significance and spiritual significance for the whole body, but as far as new moons that the people I've seen get into it it either make a spiritual point out of it or to to become much more devoted to the biblical calendar. Generally it's just part of a falling away from the centrality of Jesus falling away from the centrality of Messiah and extender of the laws of the traditions of the customs there trying to follow in their lives become very very confused and spiritually suffocated us again. If you are part of a Jewish community and in the midst of the Jewish community you're following the lunar calendar. That's one thing entirely for your average Christian to think we should take that on. I absolutely see no purpose for the hay in. Thank you for the question. I appreciate 866-34-TRUTH hey every so often. This will happen on a Friday phone lines are jammed from the beginning to the end of the broadcast. Every soft like a line will open up for for a few seconds or second line, so you try to get through. We get a tiny little window still hopefully be able to get your call if you get on now. All right, back to the phones, 866-34-TRUTH of us go back to Connecticut.

Carlos your online far thanks for calling us Michael Michael Brown of great good to talk to me so all I am fairly new believers hope quick Billy. But Mark so all the question comes from a first Corinthians 18. Basically all speak about util speaking and calling her, but if there is a interpreter and basically all I go I go to a nondenominational church, have the note across the room so when out when I'm in there, everybody, nobody interpreting down so my question is all yours out of line right so your questions and prescriptions. 14 is not a silly question at all.

Is it okay for everybody to speak in tongues in the church service without an interpreter. So there are a couple of different dimensions here and this is a very common question in the valid question. What Paul is primarily talking about is order and communication and edification. So if I start saying if I'm speaking Hebrew. Now on the Samantha Mosley oath Paul Heidi Homme IS no one knew what isolationist beekeeper I'm happy to be here today right is what I said so it's the same thing if if you got up.

Let's say your your bilingual and you call in and you start speaking to me in Spanish while you understand it. Other Spanish speakers do, but I don't so it doesn't edify.

It doesn't help sold the principal as if you're delivering a message. If you get up and give this word stand up and above all, you start speaking out in tongues and there is no one who has the gift of interpretation. Maybe you felt blessed while they felt that but nobody else's edify nobody else's health. So that's out of order. Clearly, what about a bunch of people praying together, and the role speaking in tongues. If they're doing in a way that you're all just worshiping God is kind of one voice I'm sitting in English or sing in Spanish samosas being a German stenosis is singing in Philippine dialect or something and some roasting in tongues. That's one thing if it's everybody doing it in a way that now brings confusion that someone comes in finance like what is this is confusing to themselves. A lot of our Pentecostal churches are a little loose in that regard. It's one thing again if if there are five of us in the basement of your house and we have a prayer meeting together.

We say this is pray in tongues for wall what were just praying together. That's why when I confusing anyone on the outside were just getting our hearts in harmony with the Lord and from there begin to pray and languages we understand that's one thing sonar assemblies. Some of our Pentecostal churches are a little lax.

There we could be a little more conscious of people coming in from the outside who don't understand or unable to participate with the biggest thing Paul is talking about is delivering the public. This message is crazy here. It's the line of fire with your host activist, author, international speaker and theologian Dr. Michael Brown voice of more cultural and spiritual revolution get into the line of fire now by calling 6643 here again is Dr. Michael Brown and I 34.

Truth is the number to call you got questions regarding answers less than 30 minutes from now. This 30 minutes from now will be going over to YouTube exclusively. So for 15 Eastern standard will be going over to YouTube and their we can continue for another 45 minutes an hour taking a questions that asked her to run a SK dear Brown on YouTube. I let's go to Aryan in Portland, Oregon. Welcome to the line of fire. God bless you Dr. Brown.

God bless thank you so really quick just a little bit of context. My question years ago God. God delivered me from alcoholism and drug addiction and five years ago God delivered me from nicotine and about five months ago I backslid into our nicotine and then two weeks ago I backslid into alcohol, but this week God delivered me again and you praise God for his mercy and his power to save in his power to deliver and all that but the thing is in the back my mind raced. I remember this verse in the Bible about how I give you put your hand to the plow and turn back to not worthy of the kingdom and sorry, just worries me because it I feel like I trade a lot of people in my life and I betrayed the goodness.

God showed me, but I want to serve the Lord. I want to be with the Lord so so you Aryan first, thanks for opening your heart and everyone it's listening, watching this a different prayer for iron for strength so Aryan. Have you violated Luke 962 no man, having put his hand to the plow and looking back is fit for the kingdom of God discussing an outfit and therefore you're out the answer, of course not, of course not, of course not.

It says that the end of James Jacobs, the fifth chapter that if what you turns away and and someone else brings them back to you. You save the soul from death and cover the multitude of sins. Love covers a multitude of sins of the blood of Jesus can't cleanse you from what you did. Now they can't cleanse anybody ever that's that's what the cross is for for mercy for forgiveness for grace, even in the Lord's prayer were praying on a daily basis for forgiveness of all, we seek to please and honor God. None of us reaches perfection in this world that firstly dissent a practical level, I really encourage you to sit with your spiritual leaders and really prayerfully look at your life and see how it is that you backslid, how it is you open the doors and maybe there's some deeper root issues. You know people. For example, that that struggle with gluttony. Some of them struggle with gluttony because they just love food, but others each when they are depressed or they eat when they were afraid or they eat when they're angry or and when they can kind of figure out what triggers something that helps them overcome an addiction. So it's just good to get counseling to get wisdom to understand that and and once you do, then it you see the symptoms you see the other things you can respond to them rather than falling back into the bed behavior what Luke 962 is talk about their lot of would-be disciples that will come after Jesus said you can't you can't be double minded when you're plowing right you have to look so you can plow straight ahead of of their cloud. But, since you have to look where you're going if if I'm looking over my shoulder.

I will serum going that I'm gonna be all over the place so he saying you must have single-minded devotion. You will be one of my disciples know it's almost like this said we Dr. Brown. I want to get in really good shape right you meet me at the gym 6 AM tomorrow. Those that's your serious, you show up, Jesus is sifting through the pseudo-disciples and the ones that just want to follow him for the excitement in the miracles so he can find real disciples, real followers, genuine people that are serious and you want to be part of my team here.

You can't be one for the world. 1 foot with me.

You got to be serious, wholehearted that's what you desire.

That's what he's looking for. Many times the people free from addictions are the best disciples because they know what God save them out of they know the mercy that he had and therefore they don't play games so receive his forgiveness of fresh receive the forgiveness of those that you hurt and let down and then try to get to the root cause because that that nicotine the drugs alcohol. Those are really secondary.

Even though the flesh is pulled in by them there. There something else it's of those root causes understand that. Get some people standing together with you by God's grace to keep moving forward. If you ever take a wrong step which everybody does you think wrong. Thought you said wrong word. You have a wrong attitude. As you lean on the Lord will forgive you, wash you and you can be stronger the next day than you were the day before or right you Dr. Brown. You're very welcome friends again this pray for iron strength buddy like you. I was there I was there I met Messing up but then God got hold of me and of their fallen back again and that's that's reality in the gospel. We can be free and free in a lasting way.

All right, let us go to John in Washington walking to the line of fire.

Dr. Brown character you speak right in the phone. I am now that better.

That's always better. Yes sir okay. Will God (I think it might be a minister now. I really, you're very welcome question of this about abortion, but I just got a call or talk about pump similar to what I was there but if you read about Malik worship the Old Testament and duplicate so many other culture or been a practice of infanticide.

At one point or another. The app died and I'm overtly archived. Abortion. About Moloch obviously was just idle. He wasn't really God or a god, but is there you believe is a real demon behind Moloch that's yeah yeah I got your today. I do, I do know what when Paul was writing to the Corinthians about idolatry. He makes a very interesting statement and in and out in first Corinthians the 10th chapter he says, verse 16. The couple blessing that we give thanks for is it not assuring the blood of Christ, the bread we break censuring the body of Christ and then then he goes on verse 19. What am I saying then the food offered to idols is anything other than an idol is anything no, but I do say that with a sacrifice they sacrifice to demons and not to God. I do not want to participate with demons and you cannot share in the Lord's table. The table demons, or drink the cup award and drink the cup of demons for stricken Severson, 20, 21, so yeah, I do believe there are genuine demonic powers and that that's part of a seduction. That's part of what draws people in, that's part of what blinds them with poles them, but ultimately in certain cases can can take over of their lives. So some demonic power absolutely and and are these demons still around or these fallen angelic powers along with human still around, the answer would be yes. When I wrote my book Jezebel's war with America said the same demonic powers operated through Jezebel operating again today in the same way so sure the baby killing spirit manifests itself in different ways in the womb outside the womb, the horrific things that people will do.

Being either driven by profit or greed or bloodlust or whatever it is and I separate that John from the woman, maybe 14 years old raped by an uncle pregnant fear of what our family will thinking and it was trembling and for your SQL. He has an abortion not think this this baby killing spirit of spirit of infanticide. That's a woman whose hurt and abused, making it terribly difficult decision making the wrong decision not the kind of one that we condemn her for so she is a child murderer.

We say, is a better way. Let's let's work with you and help you find that better way. Hey John, thank you for the call of talk yeah I got time a Randall in Greensboro, North Carolina.

Thank you for calling the line of fire… I like to know sorrow, go ahead all right. I'm sorry all know if all the prophecies have come to pass all what processes all the proxies in a in the Bible knows or coerced. No no no no no no, absolutely, categorically no there many many many many many prophecies that have not come to pass. The prophecies about the physical return of the Messiah, the prophecies about his physical kingdom on the earth. The prophecies of about a future resurrection of the body. The prophecies about the eternal kingdom and the new heaven and new earth. Absolutely, categorically, not as it is a heretical view of a doctrine called full predators and that all the prophecies have really come to pass if there will be no physical second coming that there will be no physical resurrection that were now living in the new heavens and a new earth. That's a heretical position. I debated someone who held to that in Michael Sullivan. You can go to the website and type in the word cell in the name Sullivan and watch her debater YouTube channel at around you can watch it there. Yeah it's it is utterly unscriptural ridiculous position. Many prophecies have come to pass a ready absolutely.

But I have about 300 air yeah. I mean, many, many prophecies have come to pass in terms of the first coming of the Lord in terms of scattering of the Jewish people and bring the Jewish people back some of that's come to pass, but have we been resurrected physically know has Jesus come back to this earth physically know is there no more sorrow or death or pain or crying. No friends join me 15 minutes from now back over on you*run asking your Brown on
